I have been looking for a house to buy since the end of 2004 and have met quite a few of them. They showed me that they are not some good quality, honest people. They are not much different from those used car sales people. Actually they are used house dealers. They are shysters. Unfortunately you see the bad side of human being from them–Greed.

“there are a lot of new faces talking now”–Jim Brubaker

Now you really make me think: Who are they?–those new faces? Hmmmm… I wish I could see all of their true faces.

Rockyroad, SDR answered some of your good questions.
Give him a bit more time. Powayseller is gone. This board is less interesting. As long as SDR continues to provide with facts and data, let’s be patient with him.

“This whole site has been considerably less interesting since powayseller stopped adding so much information to it.”

Totally agree!

[hs]

Powayseller deserves more credits than some people thought. If it were not her, I don’t think this board could have had this much active intelligent discussion. She has stated in one of her posts that she would focus on bigger picture. Why sb. can not have a bigger heart and let all the fights go? She is just trying to defend herself from sb’s revengeful attacking now.
It is a shame that this borad ended like this.

I am sure most people on this forum will miss you.Hope you will change your mind and come back.
Don’t let those shallow, revengeful, small-hearted ones stop you.

Bugs, with respect,as always!

Lostkitty, you are right. He is shallow AND ARROGANT!
He said he is having the best year ever. Hey, it is only April, so he’d better keep himself humble.

[hs]

I don’t even bother to read her post. She is out of control.

[hs]

What a joke! Now you understand why I call most of them”used car sale people.”
I wonder if they get paid by writing for that”Realty Time”?

[hs]

Realty-A-La-Carte is a great idea.
I think those realtors get paid too much and they don’t really deserve it, especially those who don’t even care what their clients’ needs are. All they concern is how to get the commission into their own pockets. So far, I haven’t met a good, high quality realtor, yet. They showed me they are just like those used car salespersons.

[hs]

I am doing the same thing, trying to convince my friends not to buy now.
If more and more people stop buying now, price definitely will go down.

I am surprised to see this house(with new cherry wood floor) sold for 520K this month, because one of my friends just sold her house on the same street in January, the same size, model, no upgrate, for 568K. How are those realtors still telling people”price will go up and up”?

I am glad you are interested in learning Chinese. As you may have known, there are many many different dialects in China, but Mardarin is the official language. If you have business in China, definitely I will encourage you to learn their language and culture. It will benifit you a lot.Most people don’t speak English in China, but more and more young people are learning English.
You are pretty brave that you went there to do the business without speaking Chinese. How did you handle everything while you were there? Did you have an interpreter?
I live in Scripps Ranch. if you are seriously thinking about learning Mardarin, you are welcome to join my class. please contact me at [email protected]

It is interesting to read all of your intelligent discussion here and I have learned a lot from you.
Just a quick point of view from a native Chinese about the Chinese housing market.
The housing price definitely is imbalanced there compared to their average income. The Government is trying to cool down the market, but I don’t know how effective it is so far since there are 1.3 billion people living there, and also lots of overseas investment pouring in.(The Chinese living overseas are sending their US$ back home to invest.) I heard big cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai cooled down a big last year, but it is heating up again, especially office buildings. Most people in China think their housing market will and should go down because most people basically cannot afford it. The rich people are extremely rich there, but poor people are terribly poor, too. Politically they are still communists, but economically they are doing capitalism. It is good to see China is developing fast, but on the other hand, it is sad to see more and more people are losing morals. All they know is $$ signs in their eyes.
BTW, my Chinese class is open to whoever is interested in learning Manderin or Chinese culture. If you or your kids or friends are interested in learning, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].
